The above is the case of the Prosecution. The defence
also opened and the Defendant gave evidence in his
defence.
He is Joshua Lawal. He stated orally that he lives at
Kuruduma Village Asokoro. He was working at NESREA
as a driver. He knows why he is in Court.
That on 12/02/15, he gave a statement to the Police.
They wrote the statement and brought it for me to sign.
That he signed it but does not know what it contains
because he cannot read and write.
That the
statement was not read to him at the Police Station.
What is contained in the statement is not what he told
the Police.
